The season premiere of The Walking Deadwas Sunday's top cable show with a giant 5.8 adults 18-49 rating, up from a 3.8 for the season 2 premiere on October 16, 2011. Thehighest rated non-Walking Dead program was the Space Jump Livespecial with a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating.

We only receive the top 100 cable shows for adults 25-54 for the whole day from our principal source. If you don’t see an original episode of a show here, it’s because it wasn’t in the top 100.

Lol, wow. Ninja Turtles quickly quickly plummeting. TMNT is a huge franchise because of how long it has been around. Nickelodeon may regret acting so fast on ordering a second season, just based on the premiere. The premiere wasn’t even that great either, considering more than 3 months of nonstop advertisement.

Nickelodeon should fire their marketing team or whoever is in charge of their failing shows and the awful advertisement. (They only advertise TMNT and it still fails.) It will continue to drop as fans of the old show continue to give up on this show.

Maybe it’s the time slot. 11/10c is a HORRIBLE time slot for a Saturday morning. Not all people get up that early. It just shows how INCREDIBLE of a show The Legend of Korra is. It was not advertised until 12 hours before each episode aired, many times people weren’t sure if there even was a new episode cause of mistakes in advertisement and TV guide being incorrect, but Korra is such a great show that it STILL managed to keep great ratings. Even in a horrible time slot.

Can’t imagine how well Korra would do in a primetime slot.

Thanks @Nick

Twist Of Fate

Nick’s ratings would be so great if they advertised their cartoons. Instead of promoting Tuff Puppy ( A Great Cartoon ), they promote crappy music shows ( How To Rock ), and game shows that are 20 yrs. old ( Figure It Out ).

Tuff Puppy averages (When promoted ) 3.6 million viewers. How To Rock (When promoted) averages lower than Robot and Monster. They didn’t even promote SpongeBob, the show on 9 freaking times a day, for SEE DAD RUN? I think Viacom forgot Nickelodeon and Nick@Nite are two separate channels.

Its about time Disney opened the 9:00 slot back. The 7:30 thing never worked and never will. 9pm will help Shake it Up grow and became wayyy more popular. Disneys Sundays are more stable than ever and they should keep it that way.

I agree. SIU is an awesome show and Fire It Up was one of my favorite episodes.

Are the ratings for TNA’s Countdown to Bound for Glory on Spike at 7pm available?

TMNT is doing good. Still on the Top beating any other kids shows, so that’s great but let’s hope the Series stays at 3 million at least

TMNT 2012 is the best literation of the Turtles so I want to see it do good!
